<p>A camera processing for changing the format of the image signals photo-electrically converted and digitized by a CCD into a predetermined output format and an image compression processing are performed. The operations for the processings are executed by an arithmetic means according to a program where the procedure of the operations are written. Thus a still picture is generated in a software manner. The degree of freedom of the signal processing in the image pickup device is raised, and accordingly the quality of image picked up by the image pickup device and the functions and operability of the device are enhanced without any additional units.</p> |
